I have found that for BBS to survive in this aggro dominated metagame you need to run accell and removal. Therefore, I would run 2 more Shackles, 4 Force Spikes, and 4 Ancient Tombs in place of 4...
Yeah I played a few games against AS. In all of them, I established the lock very quickly. He had 2 MD Disenchants, but I had a nostalgic dreams and 2 Crucibles in my hand, so I wasnt worried....
Really? Against aggro I go strait for the combo with no second thoughts. It's the best way to race them...and damn consistant. I consider this control/combo, sure, with control first and foremost,...
Well for me I've never had a problem once the locks out, but I've only played about 15 games. One was against Enchantress Confinement, so we had to draw because the game would have taken an hour....
Well on #2 I was reffering to Bane, not you. I agree you need more than 1 chasm, but 3 and one in the board seems overkill.
When the lock is out the point is that Di's list doesn't NEED to do...
Yes, Nimble Mongoose was in early builds. I can't remember why it was cut...
Well look at madness in it's hayday. It ran counterspells as back up so it wouldn't lose when it overextended. However that was a fairly bad hand as I had no mana accel, and by the time a drew LED it...
I have to disagree, Bane. Diablos's list is supurior to White Ghosts for a number of reasons:
1) The mana base is more solid. Diablos doesn't run as many non-mana producing lands as White Ghost,...
I think this deck needs to be seriosly rethought. You are too explosive, to the extent that one counterspell=you lose. Against Aggro, thats incredible. And you say you play conservatively against...
Nice Diablos.
I am really liking the mana base - it looks solid with all that CoW and LftL support. I know people will disagree with me, but I think you did a good job there.
I really don't...
I would not run Cabal Therapy over Duress because you run no creatures. Making the flashback, and thus, card advantage, worthless. Maybe I was wrong on Massacare though. I guess I should test it.
I second Tao. You should test him. He also is good w/lifegain creatures, like Ravenouse Baloth! Lol, I'm kidding. But he should go in, and so should baloth.
Another question: Why is this better than IGGy Pop? IGGy Pop placed higher in Lille. The way I see it, this deck is faster while IGGy Pop is more consistent and doesn't kill itself 15% of the time. ...
Maybe run Ravenous Baloth? I could see that, Eternal Witness, and a ninja making a cute little combo, sorry, I mean and EVIL little combo. it would just require adding 1 more card and would swing the...
I would say Therapy deserves testing and Massacare sux. This is a combo deck, not a control one. Anyway, why are we scared of white? Meddline Mage is annoying, but hey, your a combo, we don't slow...
I tested a bit, and one deck kept beating me
Burn: I just wasnt fast enough. We need a way of stabilizing life points, because even when I killed there threats they just topdecked lucky and killed...
This deck could really benifit from Jitte of SoFI, as mentioned earliear. I would love to see one or the other included in the list, since they can really give you a chance without a LED or mox hand....
On that note, what do we cut for da wurm? I'm pretty sure he deserves a spot. I think, however, 4 is the wrong number. Again, I would cut 3 lands for 3 wurms. You still have plenty of mana sources...
Even though ground seal isn't all that, I still think we need a more solid finisher, or at least one in the board. Crypt wrecks you, so that finisher should not depend on threshold for success. I...
I did some very breif testing (3 games) and I'm wondering about something: The graveyard. The problem was that I kept getting hit by all this graveyard hate meant for Threshold. That is why I am...
Because he runs a lot of insane card draw. He will Always have at least 2 creatures in his hand and hit another one by turn 3 (well, most of the time). His creatures are big enough beaters that many...
Sorry to everyone else, but this is my favorite deck yet. I really like LED here, as well as the decision to run LftL instead of inuition. However, I really think you should be abusing Cephalid...
Oh, Sorry. I guess I wasn't paying attention...
Obviosly no body has been watching standard closely. When I did I found this card:
Teller of Tales
5 CC
Creature - Spirit
Flying, Whenever you play a Spirit or Arcane spell, tap or untap target...
